The Tennessee Valley Bourbon Society™ is dedicated to sharing our passion for bourbon whiskey and giving back to the Tennessee Valley community. From the beginner, or as we like to call "Virgin" to the die-hard enthusiast, we will provide networking opportunities, group meetups, tastings, and education for all who want to learn more about bourbon.
How It All Began.
For years, we have been a group of friends who were fans of fantastic food, wine, and travel. Then we were introduced to bourbon and the concept was born. Finding exciting people and places to engage with like-minded people who are new to bourbon, because … If you don‘t taste it, someone else will!™
If You Don‘t Taste It, Someone Else Will!™
The tag phrase is simple, tastings are how the journey started in 2020. We were introduced to the bourbon world in Bardstown, KY. The group of ladies that founded TVBS set out with a rumor that Bourbon was a great way to raise funds for our charities, including the Alzheimer's Association. No palate is the same, but being new to the bourbon and whisk(e)y world, it was obvious we were not aficionados. This led to our passion for starting a like-minded society that is passionate about giving back to the community while exploring all of the amazing adventures bourbon and whiskey offer. Because if you don't taste it, someone else will!
TVBS Lifestyle.
This concept was a fluke of sorts when our founding member's arrived for their first experience of bourbon it was a surprise! It was mentioned by the other people in the tasting that we must be bourbon virgins to ask the kind of questions we had. Well, that was true, we also started using that catchphrase on social media as a way to spread the word about our fundraising efforts. So we intend for this group to be something for everyone to enjoy. From tasting rooms, destination tours, cocktail classes, and education from the distilleries, If you are a virgin,(and we all were at some point) or a seasoned veteran of bourbon, come along with us for the ride!
